11 ASPIRE Study: The Future Role of NRENs Recommendations Recommendation 1 The European R&E Networking Community (NRENs, DANTE, TERENA, and user stakeholders) need an efficient strategic management body that is able to act as a single point of contact and is able to respond quickly and with authority. Recommendation 2 Under the auspices of this body, a high- level task force should be created in which decision- makers work together to define a single strategic vision for pan- European R&E Networking Recommendation 3 NRENs should re- consider their funding models and move to more diversified and sustainable models..... A major goal should be to increase inter- institutional collaboration, aggregation of demand, joint procurement, and sharing of services. Networks Services People 11

12 ASPIRE Study: The Future Role of NRENs Recommendations Recommendation 4 NRENs need to take a strategic approach to their business planning and service delivery, and develop a thorough understanding of their own user base, including the needs of their international users and the external operating environment. Recommendation 5 A European user- requirements compendium should be developed by TERENA, so that the R&E network providers have a strategic view of the demand side of the sector. Recommendation 6 NRENS should not compete with the commercial providers, particularly on price. They should act as a trusted broker that is an integral part of the community by providing expertise, aggregating demand, and adding value through negotiation - including the integration of support for community AAI systems.

18 Stephen Wolff, Principal Scientist, Internet2 BLOG: Making the Case for NRENs (February 2015) Enduring social differences between NRENs and ISPs NRENs serve scholarly purposes; ISPs serve commercial purposes. The environment for NRENs is collegial; for ISPs it is proprietary. NRENs are collaborative; ISPs are competitive. Internet2 have federated identity management system that we are working to make universal. Internet2 have a virtualized network that we are working to fully integrate as a user- and application- controllable virtualized cyber- infrastructure The case for NRENs is continuously evolving, but it does so according to the demands and values of the academic communities we serve, rather than those of the marketplace and that is the ultimate differentiator.
